Colombia backed Trump down, got him to accept their demands

...that didn't show Colombia conceding any of their demands.

...in a statement late on Sunday, the White House said Colombia had agreed to accept the migrants after all and Washington would not impose the penalties. Colombia's Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo said separately the country's presidential plane was ready to carry deportees.

"There was a win-win here. The United States withdrew the threat of tariffs and Colombia was able to get the United States to accept that the treatment given to our citizens should be dignified," Colombia's ambassador to the U.S., Daniel Garcia-Pena told local television channel Caracol.

...so Trump did nothing, in the end, but threaten OUR own economy and jobs with his reckless tariff taunts.

Colombia threatened US, in retaliation, with their own tariffs on goods which Americans rely on, threatening to make them more expensive for both consumers and the businesses that bebefit from their sales.

His actions threatened to hurt the American people's livelihoods. A trade war with Colombia would be inflationary and counterproductive to even the aim of returning refugees.

I'm at a loss to see what would be achieved of Trump's OWN deportation agenda for him to 'win' this arrogant performance politics and for those Colombian migrants to still be in U.S. custody, instead of the 'deal' Trump conceded to which gave the Colombian president everything he demanded.

But maybe you can find another article where CNN explains that to us some some other time.
